The city centre restaurant has bought the place over, and will open shortly under its new name.

The Giovanazzi family shared the news on La Parmigiana’s Facebook page last night, confirming that many of the staff are retiring from the food business, while others stay on at the new La Lanterna.

The post reads: “After 39 wonderful years of serving the public like yourselves, we are now selling the business of La Parmigiana. Sandro is retiring and Matteo is moving on to new avenues.

“It has been an honour serving you and we hope all the best for the future to come. Many thanks for your patronage over the years.

“As we move on, most of the existing staff will remain, with only the loss of chef Peppino who is also retiring. Chris and Luca from La Lanterna will be taking over and we would like to wish them the best of luck in their new venture.”
